2 A FUTURE OF WORK FREE FROM VIOLENCE AND HARASSMENT: WORKPLACE POLICY DESIGN LAB
OVERVIEW
Violence and harassment in the world of work are a threat to the dignity, security, health and well-being of everyone, affecting not only workers and employers, but also their families, communities, economies and society at large. In June 2019, through the adoption of ILO Convention no. 190 and Recommendation no. 206, the global community made it clear that such phenomenon cannot be tolerated, and the world of work needs to be equipped to put a stop to it.
This hands-on e-workshop aims to provide participants with practical knowledge and tools for action.
WHAT
In this learning journey you will explore and assess key ingredients for a workplace policy on violence and harassment that is aligned with the new ILO instruments, and be guided to use them to design a policy that works for you and your organization.
Key topics are:
• C. 190 and R. 206: core principles, scope and main provisions, and application at the workplace level;
• Which way to go: policies, declarations, codes of conducts;
• Key ingredients for prevention and protection, and emerging practices;
• Key ingredients for enforcement and remedies, and emerging practices;
• Key ingredients for guidance, training and awareness-raising, and emerging practices;
• Roll-out and implementation of the policy: elements of action planning;
• Monitoring and evaluation: data collection, KPIs and follow-up.
